I went down in Old Joe's barroom |
|
On the corner by the square |
|
Many drinks have been served as usual |
|
And the usual crowd was there |
|
On my left stood Joe McKennedy |
|
And his eyes were bloodshot red |
|
When he told me that sad story |
|
These are the words that he said |
|
When I went down to St James infirmary |
|
To see my baby there |
|
And she was stretched on a long white table |
|
So cold, so white, so fair |
|
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better |
|
Oh let her go, let her go, God bless her |
|
Wherever she may be |
|
She can search this wide world over |
|
She'll never find another man like me |
|
Sixteen coal black horses |
|
To pull that rubber tied hack |
|
And there's seventeen miles to the graveyard |
|
And my baby's ain't never very well |
|
Well, now that you've heard my story |
|
Well, have another round of booze |
|
And if anyone should ever ask you |
|
I've got the St. James infirmary blues |
|
Let her go, let her go, God bless her |
|
Wherever she may be |
|
She can search this wide world over |
|
She'll never find another man like me |
|
Let her go, let her go, God bless her |
|
Wherever she may be |
|
And she can search this wide world over |
|
She'll never find another man like me |
|
No she'll never find another man like me |
|
She'll never find another man like me |
